Canada has topped the list as the safest country in the world for travelers, according to a report from travel insurance provider Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection.
The company released its ninth annual State of Travel insurance report, which ranks the safest countries in the world for travelers by evaluating safety concerns such as health measures, weather emergencies, and terrorism, among others.
According to USA Today, Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection surveyed 1,702 people on their travel experiences in different countries to help compile its list.
